I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, so mods, feel free to move as required.
Many on WIX are familiar with John Norman from his tenure as the owner of the Hurricane AM274 project. Since he sold the Hurricane earlier this year, he has been steadily making amazing progress on his replica of the Spirit of St Louis. He has run into a snag that could derail the whole project, however. While he was inventorying the parts for his original Wright J-5, he discovered that all of the valves, springs, and wrist pins are for a Continental R-670, not a J-5. Since the goal is to fly with the J-5, and another engine is unacceptable, He needs to find these parts! Does anyone know of a stash of Wright J-5 parts, or know anyone who as some? John would love to hear from you! Please contact him at
